Dedicated to all my Russian friends, and to Phil Sullivan, Teri Snider, and Evgeniy Patrushev, who wished for world peace and understanding. And to Sasha, the beautiful Big White Dog, Julie's Puppette and Hobie, and Katie's Nikki, the ever-faithful Bouvier...and especially to my David 1935-2011. .... Judy

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. --Anais Nin
